When it comes to choosing products that are good for both you and the environment, GOTS certified organic cotton is a clear winner. Whether it’s clothing, home textiles, or hair care products like our ECO AUS hair towel wraps, this globally recognised certification guarantees quality, sustainability, and ethical practices. Here’s why opting for GOTS certified organic cotton is a choice you can feel good about.
What is GOTS Certification?
GOTS, or the Global Organic Textile Standard, is the leading worldwide standard for organic fibres. It covers the entire supply chain, from the harvesting of raw materials to environmentally and socially responsible manufacturing, and even labelling. To earn GOTS certification, products must meet strict criteria, including the use of organic farming methods, the elimination of toxic chemicals, and fair labor practices.
Benefits for You: Healthier, Safer Choices
Gentle on Skin: GOTS certified organic cotton is free from harmful chemicals, pesticides, and synthetic fertilisers. This makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin, allergies, or simply for anyone looking to avoid exposure to toxins.
Naturally Soft and Absorbent: The natural properties of organic cotton make it incredibly soft and highly absorbent. When used in products like our hair towel wrap, it helps to gently dry your hair without causing frizz or breakage.
Breathable and Comfortable: Organic cotton allows air to flow naturally, reducing the risk of irritation and keeping your skin (and hair) comfortable.
Benefits for the Planet: A Sustainable Choice
Reduced Environmental Impact: Organic cotton farming not only avoids harmful pesticides that can damage ecosystems but also uses significantly less water than conventional cotton, thanks to soil health improvements that enhance water retention.
Biodegradable and Compostable: GOTS certified organic cotton is fully biodegradable and compostable, helping to reduce landfill waste and support a circular economy.
Ethical Production Practices: GOTS certification also ensures fair working conditions and wages for workers, promoting a more equitable and humane supply chain.
